Hi list, I know that there are automatic update with yum-cron but never tried. In my experiences I never did automatic backup because if update was broken my installation will be broken and I wait some time before apply update. Today seems to be that automatic update are used more than before. What do you think about automatic update? It is a good practice on a server? What is your experiences?

1. Under *NO* *CIRCUMSTANCES* would I *ever* have that running on a production machine. That's what test boxes are for. 2. If it was my own machine at home, thanks, but I want to wake up, or come home, to a guaranteed working system. I'll update, so I can always undo.
